Her ceremonies are always inclusive and LGBTQIA+ friendly! Your ceremony can be as unique as the two of you. She will do wedding ceremonies with no mention of god or a little "shout out" to God for Grandma, Heidi also does vow renewals, and elopements. She officiates spiritual, non-religious, non-denominational, Pagan, Agnostic, Buddhist, Earth-based, and Unitarian events. She's "married" over 1100 people since 2016!

With her years of experience in theatre, doing voice-overs for radio, and TV, her ASMR voice, and her love of writing, she has unique qualifications to make this an easy and fun experience for you! Your ceremony should reflect both of you. It should also tell your personal story. She refuses to do long and boring ceremonies, she loves doing awesome ceremonies! She loves what she does!

Her world's filled with love and laughter! She loves going on adventures, sharing weekly "date days" with her husband, and spending an amazing day with her couples! Sometimes she gets to do both, Alan's an experienced, professional and romantic, brilliant, award-winning wedding photographer! They do elopements too, Google Alan and Heidi Elopements for more info.

Heidi and her husband are still madly in love and best friends after almost 25 years together! They share their lives with too many adorable "furkids". They love hiking in the mountains with their Samoyed dog, Gypsy and walking on the beach, watching Marvel, DC Superheroes, Star Trek, and Star Wars movies (they don't choose sides)!

It's your ceremony not mine, so let's create the ceremony you never dreamed could happen!

A very personal wedding

Heidi helped through every step of creating a very personalized wedding. She has created such a fantastic "menu" of options, and helped us to wright our very own story. The ceremony was so sweet.

Absolutely wonderful experience!

We recommend Heidi 1000%! She was absolutely wonderful!! We are so beyond thankful to have met her! She was the perfect officiant for my husband and I. She made our ceremony incredibly special and catered our ceremony perfectly to who my husband and I are and what we wanted! Not only is she incredibly professional but she has the most beautiful energy! We felt like we had known her for years! She was so patient with us and made sure our ceremony would be everything we wanted it to be. My friends and family absolutely LOVED our ceremony and kept asking us how we found Heidi. My husband and I wanted a romantic and fun ceremony and Heidi delivered just that!!

Amazing Ceremony!

Wow, Heidi was an incredible officiant and helped me and my husband craft the most perfect ceremony. I've seen many weddings and sometimes the officiant makes it about themselves, or thinks of it as a tight 5 comedy special, but not Heidi. She was professional, well-spoken, and truly understood our needs to help us create a perfect day. We eloped in Joshua Tree and she drove out to us, and helped us figure the how to's of getting married every step of the way. I highly recommend working with Heidi if you want a ceremony that is special, filled with joy, and has heart and soul. I will definitely be recommending Love Story Vows to anyone I know getting married. Thank you Heidi! :) - Holly & Evan.

Simply put, I really enjoy working with Heidi! I've worked with her since 2006 and have always found her to be upbeat and positive, which really helps with weddings as there can be a certain amount of pressure to make sure everything is as close to perfect as you can get. And that's where Heidi shines: she's calm and even-keeled and she listens to your thoughts, concerns, questions, and addresses them in a manner that helps you to feel calm and less stressed about not only the ceremony, but the whole wedding planning process. Just one call to her and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. She's one of the best!

Heidi from Love Story Vows is an exceptional person, colleague, and professional! I have known Heidi for over 20 years! And it wasn't difficult to choose my wedding officiant for myself and my husband. Heidi was our first choice! And what an amazing ceremony it was! She helped us incorporate our kids, make it unique, and certainly brought laughter and tears to everyone! She helped me stay calm during the planning process. She stayed in touch daily. And she even stayed with us all night to celebrate! Thank you Heidi....so so much!

I have worked with many officiants throughout my time as an event coordinator. Heidi with Love Story Vows has been my favorite. She makes it a priority to cater to the couples every need. She is attentive, kind and professional. You can see how passionate she is about what she does from the first conversation. I would highly recommend Heidi to anyone looking for her services. She and her husband are both very involved in this industry and definitely know what they are doing.
